And she is asking readers to help her to complete her fund-raising goal – and wants to thank those who have supported her already, after an article about her feat was published last month.

Asked whether she has any trepidation about doing her first ever parachute jump, the 29-year-old said: “I’m not nervous at all – I’m more excited than anything.

“We've had a very positive response so far. Readers have made contributions, many of my friends have made donations of what they can and we’ve had plenty of support from large associations in America and France.

“The support encourages me more. I’ve received emails from people I don’t know telling me how good it is and wishing us the best of luck.”

Lisa has been fundraising to try and help rescue the greyhounds since she moved to Benalmadena two years ago.

Along with friend, Charlotte Del Rio, she is aiming to open a greyhound rescue centre and educational centre in the area – a project the local mayor has already given his blessing to.

Lisa, who now works at her mum’s Benalmadena restaurant with rescuing greyhounds her ‘other’ full- time job, said: “It’s refreshing and reassuring to know there are people out there who will help where they can. We’re not asking for megabucks, just a small gesture. It all mounts up.”
